Red Dawn At Seelow | The Road To Berlin Part IV

The battle for Berlin takes place in two stages: the Battle of the Oder (16 - 20 April), and the battle in the city itself (21 April - 2 May). In this episode we’ll focus on the first one, and especially on the most critical sector of the front: the Seelow Heights. Sources: S. Chtemenko, The Soviet General Staff at war, 1941-1945 C.
